Dahl Hates Disco Releases 'Some People' EP

An air of mystery seems to surround electronic South African newcomers Dahl Hates Disco.

Is it a concept? A music collective? An experiment of sorts? Perhaps. For now, nobody really knows. In mid-2016 they released their debut single 'Endless Motion'(Come With Me).

Despite a lack of social media presence and shunning radio interviews, the single ended up being charted/playlisted on 35 SA radio stations , Top 100 SA Shazams, music video on MTV, Trace, M-net, Club 808 and multiple reviews in local and international music blogs.

Their debut EP, Dahl Hates Disco explore various sub genres within the house music soundscape including pop-melodic house, afro house, and indie-house. Lyrically, they seek to avoids the cliché and mundane, and cover an array of topics touching on humanity's inner search whilst providing a take on social commentary, whilst leaving the overall message universal and open to the listener’s interpretation, as art should be. Their next single is “So Long ” which combines afrocentric influenced house music production with moody pop-indie vocals reminiscent of bands like Empire of the Sun.
